The Real Deal

Right then,

After a fairly decent pre-training period over the last two weeks (I ran again on Sun), there's a slight step up in training for me this week. I'm going to follow the improver's training schedule I got from runners world. This is a 14 week lead up to the marathon.

Week 1 - includes:
Mon - Rest (which i managed admirably);
Tue - Steady jog 25 Min's (completed on the treadmill early this am despite going for a curry last night);
Wed - Two 10min runs at 80-90% effort with 2 Min's recovery jog between (this will be hard);
Thu - 30 Min's cross training e.g. swimming, cycling or gym and 30 Min's steady jog (doable);
Friday - rest (again doable);
Sat - Kenyan Hills which involves running up a steep hill for 2Min's jogging back down, and repeating for 15 Min's (this will be very hard)
Sun - Long run for 75 Min's (sort of hard but doable)

I'll report how I get on soon. Remember this is the easy part.
